    Community Answer
    Start with the basics. Practice some basic coding so you know how to use variables, create conditional statements, use functions, and other basic commands. This will allow you to program your robots. You may also want to spend some time studying linear algebra, which will help you build robots. Go online and look up articles and websites about computer science you can form a basic understanding, which will help you build up your robotics skill. From there, you can get a basic robotics kit and work on building your first robot!
